BOOM! Studios imprint Archaia will reveal the origins of Jareth the Goblin King in a new ongoing. Jim Henson’s Labyrinth comes from writer Simon Spurrier (X-Men Legacy: Legion, The Power of the Dark Crystal) and artist Daniel Bayliss (Big Trouble in Little China / Escape From New York, Jim Henson’s Storyteller: Dragons) (via Entertainment Weekly). The first issue will be in stores in February.

The story, which will examine the history of the Labyrinth itself and what happens when little boys aren’t rescued, is set in Venice, Italy, during the 18th century. The first issue features a main cover by Fiona Staples (Saga), a subscription cover by Rebekah Isaacs (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), and variants by Laurent Durieux (Mondo poster artist), Jill Thompson (Wonder Woman: The True Amazon), and Bill Sienkiewicz (Legion, Elektra: Assassin).
